Dollar tree - a flower of zamiokulkas: species, benefit and harm, homeland, poisonous or not?

Like many other plants, dollar tree species exist enough to choose from them a single "own" version.

Zamiokulkas has the following names in the common people:

• dollar tree
• perpetual tree
• zanzibar pearl
• fatty
• aroid palm
• golden tree

Zamiokulkas will become part of your apartment or house

Partially zamiokulkas is considered to be a kind of succulents. This is the name of plants that grow on arid sandy soils somewhere in the depths of deserts. The homeland of a dollar tree can be considered Africa. It was Africa that created all the most favorable conditions for creating such a beautiful and powerful plant.

That's interesting! Zamiokulkas is incredibly popular in China. There he is considered a symbol of the New Year.

In the care of zamookulkas unpretentious, but requires compliance with certain standards in handling themselves, which we will talk about later in the article.

Zamiokulkas is a common name. It includes several subspecies:

• zamiokulkas lacentovidny
• zamiokulkas zamiielistny
• zamiokulkas zamikro
• variegate zamiokulkas

More recently this beautiful plant has appeared in Russia. Therefore, new species have bypassed the selection. Despite this, in 2007 a grade of mini zamiokulkas was introduced, which is only 60 cm high instead of the standard 100 cm. The name is Zamicro.

The unpretentious lover of sunlight and dry air

It is a mistake to believe that a dollar tree is poisonous. Its leaves contain a substance which, if ingested into the mouth, can cause a slight burning sensation, but will not lead to a fatal outcome. This does not mean that now zamiokulkas should be used as a spicy herb in a salad. Just keep in mind that perhaps the restless behavior of your pet or the tears of a child can be caused by the fact that they both tried the plant "on the tooth."

Talk about the benefits of this plant will have a little. It does not purify the air like chlorophytum and does not disinfect it like needles. Dollar tree plays a purely decorative role.

It is believed that Zamiokulkas brings female happiness into the house. But for this the flower should be presented with pure intentions and without malicious intent.

Why is the zamioculcas called a celibacy flower, can it be kept at home?

If you believe the signs, then all the flowers somehow affect the atmosphere in the house and their owners in particular. There are many legends and rumors about zamiokulkasa, but which of them can be considered true, and which ones are fictitious? The question is not easy.

As for zamiokulkasa opinions differ. Some call it "female happiness," others call it "the flower of celibacy."Whom to believe? It's up to you. For someone, a dollar tree will really be a flower of celibacy, but for someone not. And maybe it's not in the flower? It is very unreasonable to blame the plant for its failures.

If the flower does not bring you happiness, then it will definitely please the eye

Most of the women are sure of the opposite. Zamiokulkas still brings happiness to the house. Yes, happiness is not simple, but feminine. Real female happiness. According to the signs, to make happiness come into the house, you can not buy a flower, but you need to take it as a gift from a loved one. In spite of the fact that the zamiokulkas does not demand for himself increased attention, his condition must be watched. Leafy leaves, yellow tips, sluggish stalk - any of these signs suggests that you did not care about the plant and you will have to wait for a long time for a woman's happiness.

The flower serves as a decoration for high-level hotels and restaurants

Why the zamioculcas has blossomed, cries, died: signs and superstitions

And again we turn to the signs. According to folk beliefs, in addition to female happiness, the flower is able to attract wealth and prosperity to its owner in its energy. With what is it connected?

Historical background. 100 years ago, the flower was only among nobles, who had money, green papers to cross the ocean and buy this miracle abroad. Perhaps because of its considerable at that time, the cost of the plant and called the "dollar tree".

Tolstyanka - also known to many plants with the moniker "money tree".But his leaves are much smaller and, rather, resemble coins, rather than large bills.

Zamiokulkas can be planted next to a plump for attracting all kinds of bills and coins

One of the most important signs relating to zamiokulkasu can be considered the following: "If the plant withers - waiting for the financial problems of the owners."Perhaps it is. After all, the dollar tree still affects the energy of the house. At least, therefore, it is necessary to take care of it at the proper level.

Another sign: "Zamiokulkas suddenly in bloom - remember, dear, a dream."Under the dream is meant a wedding, pregnancy, the birth of a child or at least the appearance on the horizon of a worthy man. All this applies to women's dreams, women's happiness.

Hoot will have those people in whose house the zamiokulkas die. It is possible to correct the situation by adjusting care, but even if this does not help, it is possible that soon problems with money will acquire a serious scale. In this situation, you can advise to avoid all possible financial risks and save the plant as soon as possible. If, despite all your persistent efforts, the flower withered - it is possible that all your financial efforts will also go to waste.

So the leaves of zamioculcace look when they look closely at

. And what about the fact that the plant started to "cry"?But you can cry, both from happiness, and from grief. Therefore, in this case, any conclusions are reckless.

To believe in signs or not is a personal matter for every person. For many cultures, it has and has weight.

In the store, you can ask the soil for succulents, if not very versed in the types of soil for different plant species.
